PH Live 15U All-Stars

<p>A great field of 15U clubs descended on Kansas City, coming from as far as Buffalo and Seattle to see how they stack up.</p> <p>There were too many good players on hand to name them all, but arguably the best team, and some of the best players, weren't even 2024s. A club from Indianapolis, Team Teague – Felder, ripped apart their competition in Pool F and probably boasted the most future Division 1 talent in the field. <strong>Jalen Haralson</strong> and <strong>Mark Zackery</strong> certainly belong on the first team of an all-star collection. But for the sake of the 15U designation, we'll leave Team Teague - Felder for some future recognition.</p> <p>Here is the Top 20 from the 15U ranks at the Prep Hoops Live event in KC (in alphabetical order):</p> <p>First Team:</p> <p><strong>Jordan Cain</strong>, 6-foot-1 guard, D1 Minnesota-Williams, Minnetonka HS:</p> <p>Cain showed off great ball handling and a knack for getting to the rim. He played tenacious defense and converted turnovers into points for the lone undefeated team in Pool A. He has a deadly pull-up jumper and is too physical for a lot of point guards.</p> <p><strong>Blake Forrest</strong>, 5-foot-9 guard, Team Lavine 3SSB, Mount Si HS:</p> <p>The best small player at the tournament, Forrest is an absolute blur with the ball. He blows around defenders from end to end and creates a lot of fast break opportunities. He picks tons of pockets and uses his speed and anticipation to intercept passes. He excels as a true point guard, but racks up a lot of points because he's moving 100 mph and has an array of shots in his bag.</p> <p><strong>Trevor Hennig</strong>, 6-foot-3 forward, Team Lavine 3SSB, Mount Si HS:</p> <p>Henning combined a nice stroke with deceptive athleticism to score a ton of points. He can get to the rim with his long arms and quickness, and he also hits the glass hard for a thin, wiry player. He's a playmaker with a high level of competitiveness.</p> <p><strong>Malachi Johnson</strong>, 6-foot-2 guard, Illinois HoopStars – Ohanson, Rockford HS:</p> <p>An elite playmaker, Johnson is the epitome of a combo guard. He can break down a defense to set up shooters, but he's just as likely to get to the hole and convert himself. He's athletic enough to make acrobatic shots routine, but also has a firm grasp of fundamentals.</p> <p><strong>Charlie Theis</strong>, 6-foot-4 forward, Minnesota Fury, East Ridge HS (pictured):</p> <p>Theis attacked defenses relentlessly all weekend, driving around and through defenders to score in heavy traffic, and to pull down rebounds for second-chance points. Theis is a powerful, yet agile athlete who has a good midrange game to complement his attacking style.</p> <p>Second Team:</p> <p><strong>Justin Buenaventura</strong>, 5-foot-11 guard, Dallas Showtyme Rise, Vines HS</p> <p><strong>Blayne Harris</strong>, 6-foot-3 forward, Gateway Basketball Club, Jackson HS</p> <p><strong>Dalyn Jackson</strong>, 6-foot guard, Alabama Celtics, Demopolis HS</p> <p><strong>JT Rock</strong>, 6-foot-11 post, South Dakota Attack, Lincoln HS</p> <p><strong>Caden Wilkins</strong>, 6-foot-5 forward, Iowa Barnstormers 1, Bettendorf HS</p> <p>Third Team:</p> <p><strong>Jaxon Klein</strong>, 6-foot-5 forward, KC Spurs Black, Blue Valley Northwest HS</p> <p><strong>Jesse Ledbetter</strong>, 6-foot guard, Team Buddy Buckets, Southmoore HS</p> <p><strong>Grayson Okoronkwo</strong>, 6-foot-1 guard, D1 Minnesota-Williams</p> <p><strong>Kavon Phillips</strong>, 6-foot-4 forward, Iowa Barnstormers 1, North Scott</p> <p><strong>Cedric Summerhill</strong>, 6-foot-4 forward, Alabama Celtics, Muscle Shoals</p> <p>Fourth Team:</p> <p><strong>David Cobin</strong>, 5-foot-8 guard, KC Spurs Black, Desoto</p> <p><strong>Micah Davis</strong>, 6-foot-1 forward, EG10, homeschool</p> <p><strong>Joe Graves</strong>, 6-foot-6 forward, Missouri Kings, Lighthouse Christian</p> <p><strong>Niko Newsome</strong>, 6-foot-5 forward, Illinois HoopStars – Ohanson, Bloomington</p> <p><strong>Trey Tuck</strong>, 6-foot guard, Team Buddy Buckets, Stillwater</p>
